@ThePedestrian If you’ve had any disciplinary action taken against you, you must say so on the common app. If the kid cheated and got suspended but didn’t not that on the CA, he lied and that’s taken really seriously.
@dr0wning exactly, he deserved it I completely agree. But I first heard about it and I was shocked because I didn’t even think parents would do that.
I. Am. So. Anxious. Any tips for relaxing? It doesn’t help that this upcoming week is the busiest I’ve had all semester 
@soph1112 Totally know what you mean! Like, I meet all the averages, but I think my family doesn’t understand that there is so much more involved than stats… Also so nervous as well!!! Just occupy yourself with other things. I finish my finals on Tuesday, so I’m planning to bake non-stop! I don’t even eat baked goods, I just need to occupy myself with cookie decorating until Thursday!
@soph1112 there is actually relaxation music you can find online to listen to as you fall asleep. It helps your brain start to forget anxiety so you can get a good night sleep even though you may be stressed. It helps to handle stress better during the day. My dance teacher showed it to us. This is a really rough week for me in school too. Just remember to try to take time for yourself also
@soph1112 completely understand. I don’t even know how I can handle the few hours before 6 on thursday
@aniiii What averages do you know of other than SAT/ACT? I think someone posted self-reported GPAs here but I might be confusing my threads.
@soph1112 try asmr videos! not the roleplay ones, just the ones with “asmr tingle” triggers. If you have it, the videos are super relaxing!
I know this is completely off topic lol but I’m trying to finish my Hamlet essay right now and I’m wondering if any of you have read Hamlet and would be willing to read my essay? (even if you haven’t read Hamlet and would be willing to read it, anything can help!)
@ThePedestrian I will be out of school, but will probably spend 99.99999999% of my day checking my email (even though it’s completely pointless to check until 5 (central time zone))
@alaqsasaya3ud not my parents, but my grandparents. I asked my mom about family history beyond her nuclear family and she doesn’t know much 
@soph1112 put on some jammin’ music, maybe light a candle, take a hot shower, change into some soft clothes, slather yourself with delicious-smelling lotion, and then go on YouTube and find a strange British documentary of questionable educational merit and replace all thoughts of worry with wonder as to why on earth someone would dedicate so many hours of their life to such a topic. Usually works for me.
Or, if you actually have to get some work done, do everything except the documentary and huddle underneath a pile of blankets like a turtle while you do your homework.
Sorry, I’m weird. I know. But who knows, it might work.
@ThePedestrian YEA! I get out of school at 3! I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I WILL DO WITH MYSELF FOR THOSE 3 HOURS! I won’t be able to concentrate on homework until I know either way.
For my time zone, I’ll get the decision at 4! Probably will be home at 3:30, will spend the remaining 30 minutes probably crying lol I’m so anxious. And thanks everyone for the tips 
@BrynMawr61 @aniii I know I can’t focus on anything and if I am rejected/deferred I probably wont be able to focus on anything either
@aniiii @ThePedestrian @BrynMawr61 MST holla - I’m actually debating whether or not to whip out my phone and check my decision in the middle of climbing practice.
@michigangirl2016 I paid no attention through our Hamlet unit, so I can’t help you, sorry.
@ThePedestrian I’ll be 15 minutes out of school but I’ll have orchestra an hour later, so I can’t go home and relax myself
I think I’d rather be rejected than deferred lol. After thinking about it, another 4 months of waiting sounds terrible and the chances of being accepted after deferred are terrible so I hope it is either a yes or a no
If I get rejected I think I’ll stay home on Friday lol. I’ll probably be too sad and it will suck having to tell people I didn’t get in
@wherevioletsgrow LOL DO IT
@wherevioletsgrow I will likely be at starbucks when mine goes live…so if you see anyone start screaming and jumping out of her seat or crying in starbucks it’s probably me! I’m planning to open it really no matter where I’m at haha
